“That was like a knife in my chest to hear early parole,” said the brother of the teen killed by Jose Rivera in 2001. Rivera is up for parole this month.
CLEVELAND — Jose Rivera was 17 years old when he stabbed and beat a 16-year-old to death in 2001. Thanks to a change in state law, he's eligible for parole this month, but the family of the victim, still pained by the death, is fighting to keep Rivera behind bars.
Ulery, who loved to run track, ran down the street, but Rivera caught up to him and beat him in the head with a board, according to prosecutors.“I remember that look in his eye,” said Fisher, “it was like he felt accomplished. He felt tough. He felt untouchable.”He cut a plea deal and was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison.
“If you’re never going to walk out the door of a prison, if you’re never going to have a chance to go back to school, or get a job, raise a family, or any of those things, there’s not a whole lot of point to doing rehabilitation,” said Lehner, a Republican from Montgomery County.
